What my clients say....
Clay Blyth Music
Lara was great to work with!
Highly recommended!
Jen & Steven
I booked a photoshoot with Lara well in advance to celebrate 10 years together and 5 years married with my husband. Lara was professional and thorough from the start. All the information about the photoshoot, followed by a face to face meeting, reassured me it would be a comfortable and fun process. My husband and I weren’t disappointed. Lara was open to ideas in planning and on the day. I don’t like having my photo taken but I was able to trust Lara to open up. It was a lovely afternoon full of light, which Lara knows how to read. The photo book has gone straight into our family treasures-it’s beautiful, along with all our images. We couldn’t recommend Lara highly enough for a photoshoot for that special occasion.

You made me feel beautiful and that's why I want this project so badly… to make my Aboriginal “family” feel the same. Thank you so much.
Sally
I am so grateful for the serendipitous moment when I stumbled on your beautiful work Lara! For anyone who believes in magic, I was literally trying to take selfies for a work-related printed doc that required a headshot. I had just shared my attempts with a couple of colleagues asking for feedback when the next shop front I walked past was yours. I had no idea you did portrait shots, and even so, I would have been too embarrassed to ask. Lucky my partner is super confident in asking questions, and asked you to take my photo. I am so so enamoured by the photos you have taken. I no longer have to squirm when submitting my headshots. You are the most beautiful of women to share your practice and care with the world.
Aedita
Lara has absolutely nailed it on this one, it wasn’t my party, but she got the shots that I’d hoped for. Just me…
Kathleen and Iris
Lara gets people and how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. She makes you feel beautiful and this is what she draws out in her photos.
Tenterfield Transport Museum
We were lucky enough to have Lara capture our Tenterfield Transport Museum Show and Shine.
Lara's professionalism and effort were second to none, which combined with her great humour and welcoming personality made the whole process a breeze.
We would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a high standard result produced by an easy to work with professional.
Janessa
Working with Lara on a stunning gallery of family photos was an experience I will forever be grateful for. Lara's use of natural light to capture honest , organic memories made working with her effortless and magical. Lara was able to capture so many beautiful moments, navigating the challenges of working with 9 month old twins with such ease. From consultation to shoot day, the whole experience is one I will always treasure.
Jude, Tom & family
Thank you Lara, not only did you capture our family perfectly but you managed to make our session fun and the gallery photo’s are amazing.
Tegan and Alex were chuffed with their family photos as were Tom, Justin and myself.
Thank you for your generosity… I really appreciate your kindness and how hard you worked to get everyone, including the dogs in the timeframe and photos.
I was blown away when you shared all the photos and really excited that we have a range of lovely shots to choose from.

Lara is amazing.
She took very beautiful photos of our small family. She is very professional and very kind, and she is very patient to our two young children too. We highly recommend her to everyone.

This pic is the best, love it Lara.
It captured the store & clothes perfectly but also Jayda’s gorgeous cheeky personality.
It’s a privilege to work with you.
Amanda
Loved this session.
I was very, very nervous as I am not a person who likes a good pose session, but gee it was great!!
​
I would actually do it again!
Ness
You have an amazing talent of capturing the true personality through your photography Lara. Again, thank you so much, the images are perfect.
Kylie
Highly recommend Lara!
Our family portraits are exactly what we wanted - relaxed, candid and very natural. Lara came to our property to capture us in our natural environment which is very meaningful to us. She gently encouraged and directed us, which definitely took away the awkwardness of posing. Our finished gallery is creative and absolutely beautiful. We love it so much. Thank Lara for recording this moment in time for The Heidrich Family!
Alan
I have never paid much attention to my face or features in a way like I have with this and I really felt I was looking at me in a different sense. Usually I brush over photos of me and I wonder why? Shame or embarrassment I don’t know but usually I feel both. So I felt the process has shifted a part of me. Thank you. You are doing something gentle, natural, loving and giving with your awesome gift.
Teena & Macgregor
You made it very hard to choose Lara they are all so good.
Just love them thanks Lara for doing such an amazing job.
Thank you.

Justin - Bushwhackers Barber Tenterfield
As someone who hates photos of myself I was totally at ease with Lara. I'm pleased to say she has given me the confidence to have more pictures taken.
Matilda Made Leather
We loved working with Lara on our product range.
Nene
We asked Lara to take some family photos for us at a family gathering. All communication with Lara was so pleasant and easy. She came to the house where we wanted to have the photos taken and made some suggestions for locations etc. On the day we had a list of various groupings we wished to complete and Lara came up with some extra ideas and just kept taking photos! It was so much fun and relaxed and enjoyable. She even managed to get some gorgeous shots of the very active and at times quite reluctant little ones! Such a professional! We are so incredibly delighted with the wide range of beautiful images that we now have of a very special weekend.
